We played our first games in Florida today. It was sunny and hot, some things we are not quite used to yet. We started off a little slow but finished up strong, and ended up one and one for the day. We started the day falling to MCLA, 6-0. It was an eye-opener, but an impromptu jam-session in the vans during our break helped us to refocus. We came out strong in the second game and battled against Millikin, defeating them 3-2, really showing our Gator pride. A few underclassmen really had a day today with Bessie Artino helping the offense with some clutch hits and Stacey Robertshaw pitching a fantastic second game.After the games it was back home for Sunday dinner, and we all ate our fill of Helen’s cooking. Dinner, however, was briefly interrupted to watch the shuttle launch. We all piled outside to watch Discovery take off and it was a really cool thing to see. All in all, we are going apply the aloe and look for two W’s tomorrow.- Marci Potuzko, SophomoreBelow are pictures from the space shuttle launch:
